Minerals and pesticides are too small to be removed by the filters in this filtration unit.

You will require some plumbing knowledge and experience to install the system successfully.

The Filter housings have a maximum operating pressure of 90 psi. If you suspect that your water pressure will at any time exceed 80 psi, a pressure regulator MUST BE INSTALLED before the filter housing. This action will guard against the water pressure exceeding the maximum pressure rating. It is recommend that the pressure regulator be set at 70 psi or less.

Protect the filter housings from freezing, as this can cause the housings to crack.

Filter Set Options

Option 1: 1 Micron Sediment & Activated Carbon Block

Option 2: 1 Micron Sediment Filter and KDF

Option 3: 1 Micron Sediment Filter and 0.2 Micron

Option 4: 5 Micron Sediment Filter and 1 Micron

Additional Options:

The Disc Filter (55 Micron)

The Disc filter is ideal for water sources that have high turbidity levels, in other words lots of dirt, sediment and mud.

The disc filter filters to 55 microns.

The disc filter will remove any large sediment, dirt, rust, sand and other large visible particles in the water.

The disc filter will also help to extend the life span of your finer particle filters.

The disc filter’s cartridge is made of a durable plastic and is reusable, and once it becomes full you simply open the housing, remove the cartridge, wash it under a tap and then replace it in the housing.

Water Softener

The Industrial UV system will make no change to the hardness (calcium / kalk) level in the water, so any these case we recommend pairing it with a water softener

The water softener is required for situations where the source water has a very high Hardness Level (Calcium / kalk / lime).

The water softener removes the hardness by exchanging the lime in the water for normal coarse salt. The salt is easier for the RO membrane to deal with, and does not have as hard an impact on the life span of the membrane.

The softener needs to run a “regeneration” cycle on a regular basis, which can be automatically set on the unit’s valve. During the “regeneration cycle” the softener backwashes the resin, removing the lime and magnesium caught inside. The Softener then draws salt from the brine tank to recoat the resin, the softener is then ready for the filtration cycle. The frequency of the regeneration cycles will depend on the hardness level and the flow rate.

The Salt inside the brine tank is just the normal coarse salt, which can be purchased from any builder’s warehouse or pool shop. How often the salt needs to be replaced, will depend on how often the regeneration cycle is run.

The resin inside the vessel should last for between 3 - 5years, depending on the quality of the water source.
